Needing You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Needing you, wanting you, I just don't know what I'm gonna do
To tell the truth it just ain't no use, my mind ain't strong enough
To forget about you, oh baby, hey, here I am trying to be proud
Trying to fool myself with this unreal smile, telling everyone
That I no longer cling to you, but I know myself that can't be true, oh
How can I forget a love I've known for so long
The heart may not remember, but the mind goes on and on
And the more I think about it the worse off I get
Something keeps telling me you ain't seen nothing yet
I'm needing you, wanting you, I just don't know what I'm gonna do
Now that you're gone, how can I go on, the same love that made me smile
Right now it makes me blue, oh, how can I get you back, I need you here so bad
The neighbors say since you've been away, I seem to be so sad
You know they're right, I can't stand to be out of your site
You need to be here close to me to lift these lonely nights
I'm needing you, wanting you, oh I just don't know what I'm gonna do, ooh, no
To tell the truth, it just ain't no use, my mind ain't strong enought to forget about you
Baby, baby, I'm sure needing you, yes, I'm wanting you
You know I just can't stand it, it just ain't no use, ain't no use
